Quotes to Note
Throughout medical history, “conception” has been equated to “fertilization”, both meaning the union of the sperm and the egg. However, in the last 30-40 years, “conception” has been quietly and arbitrarily redefined to mean implantation of the human embryo (blastocyst) in the uterus. This allows for a period of about 6-10 days from fertilization (union of egg and sperm) in the Fallopian tube, until the embryo – about 100 cells in size – arrives in the uterus. Of course, since EC proponents have changed the definition of conception to mean implantation, they would say that there is no current pregnancy. On the other hand, most scientists and physicians recognize fertilization as the moment when life begins, and would therefore, call the loss of the human embryo an early abortion.

(Welfare) Reauthor-ization (HR 4737), moves to the Senate! It provides funds for the Title V abstinence-until-marriage education, & promotion of healthy marriage/ fatherhood programs. Pro-sex ed (anti-abstinence) groups are pushing for "flexibility" to use abstinence funds for condom programs. Protecting Title V is vital, as Bill Smith of SIECUS ("safe sex") has declared; "The Senate may be our last best chance to force a change."

We are asked to tell Senators that the welfare reauthorization bill should protect the funds for ‘authentic’ abstinence-until-marriage programs that follow the Title V A-H definition of abstinence and do not give a mixed message or promote contraception. These programs will improve the lives of teens and lower teen pregnancy rates therefore cutting the number of people relying on welfare. Please also support marriage promotion activities and responsible fatherhood programs." Senators can be reached at (202) 224-3121. http://www.senate.gov/senators/senator_by_state.cfm. (16May02)
